The rate of economic growth in China over the last 50 years has
been remarkable. However this has only highlighted the inequalities
between regions in China, making for considerable disquiet at the
highest levels of Chinese policy-making. Not everyone has benefited
from the same levels of prosperity and this book examines the many
and varied policy solutions and proposals that have been applied to
this thorny problem. The authors find that the industrial core of
China (the South East and the Changjiang and Yellow River regions)
is reasonably well integrated but not well connected to the
remainder of the country. Indeed, evidence suggests that
development in coastal areas comes at the expense of that in the
interior while much of the policy designed to boost the interior
actually flows to the coastal provinces. This original analysis of
the linkages between regions in China, and regional policy since
1949, will prove an invaluable and illuminating account to a wide
readership. This will include academics and researchers of Chinese
studies and regional economics as well as policy-makers in the
region.
